After seeing 4.3 myself in person, I would indeed like to go button-free on the iPad .. home button that is. A rocker volume is still welcome in my book.

If the iPads of the future still have home buttons, no big. Perhaps just the option to use multiple finger gestures to pinch to home, swipe between apps, and hide/unhide the multitask tray would be nice.

Maybe that makes me indifferent, but if there weren't one, I'd be just fine without.

In any case, what's your preference for your want of an iPad without a home button?

I say add it as an option, but keep the home button. Why not have both? IMO, clicking or double clicking the home button is intuitive, whereas learning all these swipe gestures makes it a little more tedious. Especially since many apps take advantage of a lot of fingers input lol

Good point. Never thought of it but those dumb gestures could get in the way of a few apps. Take Uzu or Moonlight for example.

I like the Home Button and have had it with my iPhone for going on 4 years, so it can be left alone. But I agree, LOL, hope this doesn't become screen orientation lock debate either! Home Button is pretty intuitive, but no problem to give people the option.
